Status update after two days: The patch to xfsprogs to add support for udeb creation is now in the BTS (bug #225444). Most of the code to generate xfs kernel udebs and xfs d-i images for i386 has been committed to d-i CVS. The remaining bits that have not been committed are attached to this email; they can't be added until xfs kernel packages are available in the archive, since this would otherwise break d-i builds. Unofficial xfs kernel udebs, based on the pending kernel-image debs, have also been uploaded to <http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/d-i/xfs/>. A d-i CD-ready (in theory!) image is also now available as <http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/d-i/xfs/cdrom-xfs-image.img> (the bare initrd accompanies it at <http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/d-i/xfs/cdrom-xfs-initrd.gz>). I'm going to start looking at what it will take to build a debian-cd image now to pull this all together. Happy New Year, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
